N-Hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone is a short-chained N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL). N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone is also a mediator of bacterial quorum-sensing regulation. N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone promotes lipid accumulation in algae. AHL is an intercellular communication signal molecule in the quorum sensing system of Gram-negative bacteria and a medium for mediating information exchange between eukaryotic plants and prokaryotic bacteria. AHL can affect bacteria activities, such as biofilm formation, pigment synthesis, and antibiotic synthesis[1][2][3][4].
